For the second straight game, the Boston Red Sox starter pitched four and two-thirds solid innings before being pulled from the mound and replaced by the bullpen. In the first matchup against the New York Yankees, it was Payton Tolle, while in the second, Sonny Gray bore the brunt of manager Chad Tracy's decision.
And in both cases, these were disastrous choices for the Red Sox, as the Yankees crushed the Sox's relievers to cruise to 9-0 and 9-2 victories and secure a spot in the Division Series
